afternoon people

so the sun is out, there is no wind, or snow..... for the first time in months i have put my leather jacket on

So during lunch time, i got my cleaning kit that i keep at work out. set about it with some muck off, a bucket of warm water, and a hose.

i'm really disappointed (i've only have the bike since december, got it second hand for a steal) this is the first time i have had chance to give it a quick clean. all of the other bikes i've had have been fared sports bikes, and when you have them clean (even the old ones) they have a certian bling effect. my xt still looks drab. little scuffs here and there, the panels are swirled, the covers are faded, and the metal work looks life less.

I know there have been some real anal fanatics on here who have spent hours on their rides. unfortunately i do not have that time.....

So. If you were me, with limted time resource, how do you get your bike to go bling?

TBH mate, if you've used the bike over winter and not cleaned it since Dec, then i'm afraid you're going to struggle given your restriction on time etc.

WD40 on the black paint
Wax (not polish) on the plastics
Polish on the silver stuff.

and the spokes never look good and bling.

I THINK it would be worth going for what you really want, as the Talons will be just as much work, and prob the same price, if not more.
